My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

At this time, an old general walked out of the crowd. He had led troops in battle before and was quite prestigious in the army.

"You are the traitor who rebelled against the emperor and attempted to usurp the throne. Lord Du, a veteran of three dynasties, was killed by you with a single sword. Prince Yong, you are unworthy of being a human being. Today, this general will execute you, the traitor, on behalf of His Majesty and Lord Du, who died unjustly."

As Lu Zhen spoke, he drew out his sword and attacked King Yong. However, at this time, several expert guards had already stood behind King Yong. Before Lu Zhen could get close to King Yong, he was pierced through the body by the sword of those guards.

"General Lu!"

"Lü Zhen!"

All the officials were horrified and began to criticize Prince Yong.

"Your Highness, how could you be so cruel? Lord Du and General Lu are both important officials in the court. Do you want to kill us all?"

Prince Yong was almost going crazy. These people only knew how to speak for Xiao Qi, not knowing that he was the one who had been sitting on the dragon throne.

"Oh, this is the fate of opposing this king. This king wants you to see clearly that this court should have belonged to this king.

This king did this simply to take back what belongs to him."

When everyone heard this, they were all angry but dared not say anything.

At this time, the emperor also saw this scene at the foot of the city wall and immediately frowned.

He didn't expect that King Yong had gone so crazy that he would target his ministers.

"General Guo, we must capture the city gate as quickly as possible!"

"The last general takes command!"

Next, with Guo Yian's order, the soldiers began to attack the city.

On the Yong prince's side, the soldiers guarding the city were all private soldiers he had trained before. They only recognized the Yong prince and not the emperor. After receiving the Yong prince's order, they all took up arms to resist.

A contest thus began.

However, not long after, everyone felt the earth shaking?

Rumble.

The sound is getting louder and louder.

At this time, a soldier standing at the highest point of the city wall was looking at the distant skyline.

There, a black wave like a tide was approaching the city gate at an extremely fast speed.

He rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again he could finally see clearly what the black waves were. It was clearly a large army wearing black armor, riding fast horses and coming at high speed.

The soldiers recognized the black flags that moved with the crowd. They recognized them as the Dragon and Tiger Army that was originally stationed in Liangcheng and had been led by Gu Li.

"Look, it's the Black Armored Army! General Gu's Black Armored Army is back!"

Someone among the officials shouted, and then everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the approaching army.

This scene made all the ministers burst into tears.

"Great, General Gu is back, we are saved, haha."

"That's right, General Gu is extremely brave and will definitely capture the city wall."

When Prince Yong saw this, his face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He caught a soldier and whispered something in his ear. Then he saw the soldier turn around, go downstairs, and order a group of people to go straight to the palace.

At the same time, in the Pepper Room Palace.

The people in the palace also heard the noise outside. The entire palace was suddenly filled with Prince Yong's rebels running around. Some palace maids and eunuchs were in a panic and hid their gold and silver jewelry, preparing to run away.

When the rebels saw some beautiful palace maids, they would tease them on the spot, and even break into the palaces of the concubines and rob their property.

Fengxiang Palace, where the queen resided, was the most conspicuous location. The soldiers fought their way in and went straight to the queen's bedroom.

"How dare you! Who gave you the guts to break into the Queen's palace? Don't you all want to die?"

Several soldiers looked at each other, and finally, no one knew who took the lead, drew the long sword at his waist, and with a "swish" sound, chopped off the head of a eunuch.

"Hmph! The prince said that His Majesty has been murdered by thieves, and ordered us to search here for the assassin. Everyone in the harem is a suspect. Everyone, search."

Following the order from the soldier leader, someone quickly broke into the inner hall and began searching through all the drawers and cabinets.

The maid Caiyue saw out of the corner of her eye that the soldiers took advantage of the search to see the priceless night pearls, jewelry, the queen's gold bracelets, hairpins, coral strings, etc., and put them all into their arms in a swaggering manner.

In a matter of seconds, all the soldiers' clothes were completely filled. Some even stuffed them directly into their trouser pockets.

Seeing the soldiers looking at her, the palace maid Caiyue lowered her head and dared not look again.

The queen was shaking with anger. She couldn't believe that Prince Yong would do the same to her...

"Outrageous, really outrageous, how dare he?

No, I have to leave the palace now to see Prince Yong."

The queen was about to leave when she was stopped by soldiers.

"Empress, haven't you heard that a new emperor appoints new ministers? I believe that soon, you will no longer be the queen." The soldier who stopped her mocked.

"Nonsense! Prince Yong would never treat me like this. You must be passing on a false order. Do you believe that if the prince finds out, he will have you torn into pieces?"

However, no one paid any attention to her. Seeing that the place had been almost looted, they turned and went to the next palace.

Dozens of soldiers also rushed into the Pepper Room at this time. As soon as they entered, they were shocked by the indescribably luxurious decorations before them.

With carved beams and painted buildings, white jade floors and emerald railings, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.

"I heard that the imperial concubine is extremely beautiful and is deeply favored by the emperor. I guess this must be the palace of the concubine. It is indeed rich and magnificent." Several soldiers sighed.

Everyone felt that their eyes were not enough to see.

In the inner hall, Qingye hurriedly closed the door and said to Wan Rongyue inside:

"My Lady, many rebels are coming. Please find a place to hide first. I will guard the gate and will not let them in."

Wan Rongyue stood up suddenly, with a cold look in his eyes.

"They're targeting me. You're just a girl, so I don't think they'll make it too difficult for you. When you find a chance, take advantage of the chaos and run away."

"No! My Lady, how could I abandon you? Even if it costs me my life, I will never let those people embarrass you."

With a "bang", as Qingye finished speaking, a guard with a sword suddenly rushed in from the door. The leader was the soldier who had been ordered by King Yong on the city wall before.

He raised his hand and instructed the people behind him:

"The prince has ordered that the imperial concubine be brought to the tower. Your Majesty, please come in!"

Qingye quickly stood in front of Wan Rongyue and scolded her, "How dare you! My queen is worth a fortune. What right does Prince Yong have to order her to go to the city wall?"

The soldier glanced at Qingye and ordered two soldiers to carry Qingye away.

"Enough of the nonsense. Your Majesty, would you like to go by yourself, or would you like me and the others to carry you over?"

Faced with the sudden change, Wan Rongyue still had a calm expression, without any panic on her face.

She stood up, straightened her clothes, and ordered, "Release Qingye, and I will go with you."

Qingye shook his head with tears in his eyes. He burst into tears.

The soldiers didn't move and looked at the leader.

"Otherwise, all you will get is my corpse."

After Wan Rongyue finished speaking, he immediately took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it in front of his neck. There was an unprecedented determination in his eyes.
